Practicing the Way Week 8: Layers of Community

Mar 9, 2025 • Aaron Contreras

In this episode, we look at different layers of community that we need in our lives to continue to grow into all that Jesus has for us. The challenge for each of us is to evaluate what relationships we have and to be intentional and consistent in developing spiritual friendships with 2-3 people over time. In this episode, you will also get some tips for developing those relationships and some cautions.

Discussion:

1. What is a relationship that has been deeply meaningful for you? What characteristics were present in that relationship (kindness, love, being understood, etc)

2. What did you appreciate about today’s teaching?

3. What was a challenge for you today and what steps will you take with that?

Practice: Community

1. Identify a follower of Jesus and invite them to do something in the next week or two.

2. Identify a person who doesn’t follow Jesus and invite them to something in the next week or two.
